BIG-IP didn't generate LOG

HI

 

I use BIGIP version 11.2.1 and provision for LTM and AVR.

 

I have a problem about BIG-IP didn't generate log ..(log folder is empty)

 

 

and when i use command "bigstart status" I see "logd down, Not provisioned" , does it relate?

 

 

how to fix this log generate problem?

 

 

thank you

  • The logd service being down is a red herring. What folder are you looking in? It should be: /var/log/
  • yeah in folder /var/log is empty

     

     

    but when i use command "ls" in SSH , I can see item in that folder.

     

     

    so confused -_-

     

     

    and how to start logd? (I can't bigstart start logd cause logd is not provisioned)
  • Logd doesn't need to be running. What shows /var/log as empty exactly, I didn't think you could check other than via SSH or console.

     

     

    Or do you mean in the Configuration Utility GUI?
  • I can see log files properly from SSH and GUI.

     

     

    but when i want to copy this log files from WinSCP. that folder is empty and have 0 bytes -_-.

     

     

    it's very strange.

     

     

    ps. I'll try to use other program.
  • Hi

     

     

    I found out that when I use FileZilla , I can see all log files -_-

     

     

    it's must because my WinSCP for sure , but i use it for a year and this problem happen today -_-

     

     

    thank you for answer
  • You're welcome. WinSCP should work fine, I've used it myself. Perhaps some configuration setting in the software?
